She was born on Oct. 3, 1930, to Ray and Cleta Thornburg, in Williamson, West Virginia.
Mrs. Conover was a homemaker but also held many positions in secretarial, bookeeping and receptionist capacities throughout her life. She was married to her husband Carl Conover for sixty eight years. The couple spent the first seven years of their marriage in Seattle, Wash., where they enjoyed sailing and skiing, and a fun social life. They then moved to Virginia and lived in several homes near Washington DC where Mr. Conover worked. Following retirement, they moved to Indiana to be closer to family. They eventually moved to Westfield, Indiana to be closer to their daughter, Martessa, where they enjoyed playing bridge in Noblesville Senior Center.
Survivors include her two daughters Pam (Dean) Cantu and Martessa Conover (Danny Young); seven granddaughters; two grandsons-in-law; three great-grandsons; and brother Terry Thornburg and his growing family who were all very dear to her.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Carl Conover.
